BRING BACK THE BATS
Wellington Caves will be the Centre of Research for the Micro-bat species. Our team are undertaking a unique project that will educate our community and create a habitat for the conservation of this native species.
Water Tank
A disused water tank within the reserve of Wellington Caves will be turned into a man made habitat. Monitors and data loggers for atmosphere readings will be installed so scientists can survey and collect data for the conservation of this native species.
Habitat
The collection and propagation of seeds will see the community get involved with the planting of trees to improve the natural habitat on the reserve. This will educate on the importance of a healthy ecosystem.
Resources
